Pre-orders are now live for the game, and there’s also a Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled – Ntros Oxide Edition, which is a fancier way of saying the digital deluxe edition. In the digital deluxe, Nitros Oxide will be a playable character from day one in all game modes. Players will also receive the full Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled game, Oxide’s Hovercraft kart, space-themed character skins for Crash, Coco, Cortex, and much more. Those who don’t pre-order can obtain the Ntros Oxide character and his hovercraft kart by completing some of the challenges in Adventure mode.
